Kennedy, a third term representative from the Fourth District, told the crowd that Trahan represents the ideals of American democracy.

“On November 6, people in this district and across the country will have an opportunity to elect leaders like Lori who believe that America stands for a place where everyone is seen, where everyone counts, where everyone can succeed.” Kennedy said.

Trahan said she will work with Kennedy in fighting for working and middle class families on affordable, universal health care, good paying jobs with benefits, high quality public education, affordable college, and addressing one of the country’s most pressing public health issues – solving the opioid epidemic.

“We need more leaders in Washington like Congressman Kennedy who know how to build things up and not just tear them down. Who understand that our strongest economy is one that works for everybody. And who put working and middle class families first.”
